Trump's Election Integrity EO: A Mixed Bag on Voting Machine Security

President Donald Trump recently signed an Executive Order (EO) aimed at restoring election integrity, but despite its positive changes, it has raised concerns about the continued use of electronic voting machines and lack of hand counting paper ballots.

The White House Fact Sheet

The EO was touted as a major victory for election reform, with many positive changes to policies implemented by Democrats during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the order still allows the use of electronic voting machines and does not require hand counting paper ballots.

Electronic Voting Machines: A Vulnerability to Fraud

Electronic voting machines have been proven to be susceptible to fraud through advanced programming of code in advance. This can favor specific candidates, as demonstrated in Bev Harris' documentary "Hacking Democracy." Furthermore, some states do not allow audits of the code, leaving the integrity of these systems uncertain.

The USB Modem: A Security Risk

The USB modem inserted after ballots are counted transmits and receives data in an insecure manner. This poses a significant risk to the secrecy and accuracy of the electoral process.

A Survey with Misleading Results

In a move that has been criticized as misleading, The White House Secretary posted on X a survey asking respondents if they wanted election changes that included hand counting paper ballots. This led many to believe that the EO required hand counting, which was not the case.

A Victory for Election Integrity Activists

Despite the mixed results of the EO, there are still victories to be celebrated. Mike Lindell, a prominent figure in the election integrity movement, has been a driving force behind efforts to mobilize Americans across all 50 states to become activists on election reform. His organization, Cause of America, and other groups like the Election Bureau and Steve Stern's Precinct Strategy have driven changes at the local and state levels.

Mike Lindell's Response

Lindell has acknowledged that his objective to eliminate electronic voting machines and melt them down into prison bars was not fully achieved through the EO. However, he notes that it represents 70% of what he had hoped for and that President Trump promises additional action.

In conclusion, while the EO signed by President Trump contains some positive changes to election policies, it falls short on addressing concerns about electronic voting machine security. As activists and reformers continue to push for more meaningful change, it remains to be seen whether future executive orders will prioritize the integrity of our electoral process.
